You’ve gone through the process and paperwork to get your home loan. The hard part is done, you can afford the repayments so time to settle in right? Not necessarily. If you hit the ‘Set and forget” stage some time ago, there is likely a more competitive rate for you out there. Lenders are a competitive bunch, always developing new products and seeking to offer more competitive rates.
With this in mind, we encourage any home owner to organise a home loan health check. At JRD Finance Solutions, we can check and compare the market to ensure you aren’t missing out on that more competitive rate. Refinancing your mortgage could mean reducing monthly repayments, and unlocking equity that could be used towards building a better future. With interest rates at record lows, there has never been a better time to get a home loan health check.
If you are unsure if you should refinance, we have listed a few reasons why people refinance below.
Your financial needs change as your circumstances and your home loan is no exception. If you’ve had a home loan for a few years now, it’s safe to assume your life has changed in that time.
You may have received a promotion, or gone through significant life changes such as getting married or had your first child. Refinancing will allow you to ensure your home loan is still in line with your needs and goals.
If you’ve become more financially stable or received a promotion or maybe even had some cash windfalls, you might be able to contribute more towards your home loan and get out of debt sooner.
If you purchased in an area that has experienced value growth while you’ve been paying down your mortgage, or if you have made some improvements to the property, you may have a substantial amount of equity in your home.
Equity is calculated by subtracting the remainder of your mortgage from the market value of your home, usually done through a home evaluation.
